Hi experts,

I installed 3GB DDR2 model5300 in winXP pro 32bit; +256MB- used for graphic because i'm using build in graphic. Physical memory is showing 2.75GB, but actual memory in use just have 2.24GB only. Any idea of it?

Condition:

I tried for Total RAM as 1x2GB + 1x256MB

******************************
Total Memory Installed: 2.304 GB (+-)
******************************

Total Physical Memory: 2.1 GB (+-) ---> After assigned 256MB RAM for graphic

Available Memory: 1.9 GB (+-) ---> Total installed - System Cache

System Cache: 150 to 200 MB ---> Normal


******************************
Total Memory Installed: 3.072 GB (+-)
******************************

Total Physical Memory: 2.8 GB (+-) ---> After assigned 256MB RAM for graphic

Available Memory: 2.2 GB (+-) ---> Total installed - System Cache

System Cache: 600 MB (+-) ---> How come a lot of RAM amount using in System Cache?


*2.1 GB total of RAM available at 1.9 GB
*3.0 GB total of RAM available at 2.2 GB

**I added 1GB of RAM but got increment of 300MB only...

Where does it say that you only have 2.24GB of usable RAM? What are your system specs?

Yep, I just have 2.24 (+-) usable RAM. I'm using AMD quad core 2.2ghz, Asus
M3A78-T mainboard with 4xDDR2 slots, 700GB Hdd, 3GB DDR2 5300 RAM.

Once I check on my systems, it shown - Total RAM: 2.8GB, available RAM: 2.2GB. But I exchange the 1GB RAM that I added to 256MB system shown - Total RAM: 2.1GB, available RAM: 1.9GB.
